Are born-again believers extreme, and off the rails in their zeal?

The below verses are to be shared with all those “Christians” — Catholic, Protestant, et al. — who think that born-again believers are extreme, and off the rails in their zeal:

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (John 3:3)

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (John 3:5-6)

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (John 3:7)

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: (Matthew 3:11)

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: (Luke 3:16)

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8:9)

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God [cf, John 1:1-7], which liveth and abideth for ever. (1 Peter 1:23)

As we can see, according to God’s holy Word, the Bible, the irrefutable answer to the question in the title of this post is:  No, there are, in fact, ONLY born-again believers!

All others — along with the unbelieving, abominable, et al. — are on their way to the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. They will not be allowed into heaven, but will be cast forth as branches to be burned, because as we’ve seen in Romans 8:9, above, “if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his”:

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. (John 15:4-6)
